Roger Federer's victory in the men's singles match against Stefanos Tsitsipas was enough to send Switzerland through to the final of the Hopman Cup despite losing to Greece overall. 

With Switzerland already securing victories against the United States and Great Britain, they only had to win one match out of three against Greece to progress to the final as the winners of Group B. 

This was confirmed when Federer beat Tsitsipas 7-6, 7-6 at the RAC Arena in Perth. 

Greece then got two consolatory victories, with Maria Sakkari beating Belinda Bencic 6-3, 6-4 and the Greek duo winning the mixed doubles match 4-3, 2-4, 4-3.

Earlier in the day, the US suffered a surprise defeat to Britain, with Cameron Norrie beating Frances Tiafoe 7-6, 6-0.

Serena Williams pulled the tie back after winning against Katie Boulter, 6-1, 7-6, but the British duo then won the doubles match 3-4, 4-3, 4-1 to win the fixture overall. 

Switzerland's opponent in the final will be decided tomorrow when Germany play Australia in Group A, with both teams currently unbeaten.

Tomorrow will see Aliaksandra Sasnovich of Belarus and Croatia's Donna Vekić fight it out for a semi-final place, with Australia's Ajla Tomljanović meeting Czech Karolína Plíšková in the remaining quarter-final.
